Tuna Season A Magnet For Foreign Fishing Vessels

KULIM – The tuna season is the reason why foreign fishing vessels are “salivating” to encroach into Malaysia’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim.

He said the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) had been instructed to step up patrols in the EEZ and that the government would not compromise on encroachment by foreign fishermen into Malaysian waters.
